Networked Heritage members Claudia Liuzza, Gertjan Plets and Maria Escallon are organizing a session at the
World Archaeology Congress in Kyoto Japan (28 August-2 September). We kindly invite archaeological
ethnographers and heritage practitioners interested in bureaucracy to submit an abstract before April 30th (see
wac8.org for more information).
This session aims at examining the role of heritage bureaucracies and their associated governmental elites in
creating particular visions of the past. Specically, we are interested in exploring the sociopolitical entanglements
inuencing technical decision-making processes in the eld of heritage and archaeology. Papers in this session will
explore how various bureaucratic technologies are employed to foster particular images of the past and specic
management practices. We are also interested in contributions focusing on how the process of declaring heritage
is intricately related with the creation of social hierarchies and cultural elites.
This session aims to further our understanding of the institutional dynamics, social hierarchies and power relations
underlying the global governance of archaeology and cultural heritage. We explore the limits and potentials of
intergovernmental cultural heritage policies and their impact of national bureaucracies. We welcome case studies
providing a global overview and from the UNESCO cultural heritage conventions, European cultural frameworks,
and cultural heritage NGOs and foundations worldwide.
We focus on contributions from archaeologists, ethnographers, heritage scholars and social scientists working on
governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental cultural organizations to uncover the pervasiveness of
bureaucratic regimes in the contemporary governance of cultural heritage and archaeology.
